Big Taste, Small Bites: Party Food!

So football has come and gone but that doesn’t mean we can use some of that game day food for other parties (plus baseball’s around the corner!)!

Here is a table I just put together for a television segment on Super Bowl decor and food- the table is filled with awesome game day ideas which could translate into other yummy party food:

My Buffalo Chicken Lollipops with Blue Cheese Fondue are CRAZY good, I might just have to make these for all occasions, not just football. I’m sure I can find some appropriate moments that could include these delicious bites of crispy, juicy, spicy goodness. The blue cheese fondue is MILD, which I like- and it takes the bite off the spiciness of the buffalo sauce.

Most every game day party I’ve been to has included pizza…I really wanted to try something different here but still get my cheesy, zesty pepperoni fix. I thought arancini would be the perfect answer- the crispy outside of these little risotto balls hold the cheesy goodness of the pizza inside! I made two versions of pizza arancini…of course we need “The Works” and then I tried a simpler version, Sausage and Caramelized Cipollini Onion. Chipollinis are sweet and caramelize quite nicely, making for a sweet and savory combo with sausage and cheese.
